Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic eight-minute stretch of Step It where the groove becomes a meditative pulse.
The bright, triumphant brass entry on the title track that feels like a spiritual awakening.
The gentle, grandfatherly tone of the vocals on track 8, bridging the gap between generations.
